Llama care,
By Steven Howcroft (Oro Station, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caring for Llamas and Alpacas: A Health & Management Guide (Spiral-bound)
The only other review for this book was rubbish. The book is the standard care of llamas book. It is a great help to a novice breeder or llama owner. You will still want more information when you are completed, but it forms the base information that you need.

Outdated info, shoddy writing,
By Joachim Pissarro (Calcutta, India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caring for Llamas and Alpacas: A Health & Management Guide (Spiral-bound)
Many of the old guard llama breeders consider this to be the bible of llama care, however, us young turks consider this to be dated rubbish. Recent nutritional breakthroughs have revolutionized the field. whereas this book suggests the usual grains and vegetables for nutrients, we all know that one should feed llamas powerbars, health shakes and atkins friendl y wraps from subway. as well, llama exercize is not discussed enough. i highly recommend a regimented work out system, for example the Body By Jake routine popularized by the great 1990's informercials. for your sake, for your llama's sake, please do not purchase this book.

A lama library "MUST HAVE",
By J. Gwen Ingram - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Caring for Llamas and Alpacas: A Health & Management Guide (Spiral-bound)
This book is a MUST for every lay (non-veterinary or non-medical background) llama or alpaca owner. Clear and comprehensive information about basic llama health and care.My only reservation in recommending this book is the outdated emphasis (by sheer volume of information) on how to make more llamas, which is neither appropriate for beginners nor an ethical activity considering the overabundance of cheap, grade, and crossbred llamas today. Likewise, the outdated misinformation about how young male llamas may grow up to misdirect their territorial aggression at humans (unhelpfully labeled "berserk" and attributed only to handled male crias in the book) may lead naive readers astray. Buy this book for the terrific care and health information; look elsewhere for llama behavior and training information. 38 of 38 people found the following review helpful

Boy am I glad I have this!,
By katy wegner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Caring for Llamas and Alpacas: A Health & Management Guide (Spiral-bound)
We own 2 llamas and don't have any other experience with livestock. This book has helped us many times. One time one of our llamas was shivering and sure enough, I looked up "shivering" and found out that llamas can get hypothermia! So followed some of the suggestions and came through that little excitement just fine. This book has lots of suggestions and illustrations and helps me know what to do for just about anything that comes up for our llama "boys".

We have used this book to spot healt problems, and as a guideline in every day care. The authors appear to have great knowledge regarding the care of lamas. The illustrations are precise. A must in every lama owners library.
